Southern Water has outlined plans to tackle a drought. SOUTHERN Water is planning to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on keeping Hampshire s rivers and taps flowing during a drought. The company says its Water for Life – Hampshire programme will revolutionise the way it sources, treats and supplies water across the county over the next decade. Southern Water is seeking planning consent for a desalination plant in the Fawley area which will produce up to 75 million litres of water per day. The proposed plant will supply communities across Hampshire during periods of drought. Southern Water is also exploring a range of alternatives in case the desalination scheme proves undeliverable.
